Study estimates 1.8 million across Germany may have already contracted the disease — 10 times more than what is reflected in data. FMTNews Covid19
People wait in line to get into a H&M store on May 2, 2020, in Frankfurt am Main, western Germany, amid the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic.
Researchers interviewed and tested 919 people in 405 households in the western district of Gangelt, where one of Germany’s biggest clusters of contagion had emerged following a carnival attended by an infected couple. Projecting this nationwide, the study estimates that 1.8 million people across Germany may have already contracted the disease — 10 times more than what is reflected in data of officially confirmed cases.
“Every supposedly healthy person we encounter can unknowingly carry the virus. We must be aware of this and act accordingly,” said the expert of the study which has yet to be peer reviewed.
